i had a couple of spots around the screw holes at the bottom of my bulkheads that were soft. I bought a peice of teak about 1/4" thick and about 3" wide. Installed it with longer screws like a baseboard at the bottom of bulkhead. Has held up very well and has been in place at least 15 years.

Mike, I'll try and get a couple of shots but it will be a couple of weeks before I will be at the boat. Bob

Same post on THT. Possible spammer?

Re: Complete Restoration on a badly damaged 2009 232 Gulfstr Wow! I just happened to stumble upon this thread as I do not get to photo section often. To do your work justice, you should move this thread to the General Discussion so it gets proper exposure. Maybe post on THT too.

I think Grady had to look at a bay boat of some type for competitive reasons. Yellowfin, Contender, etc. all offer or are introducing high end bay boats. Grady needed an "entry level" model for fishermen, but at $100,000 that's quite an entry. Inland and bay fishing has become a big market...

One thing that I do not think anyone has mentioned. You need to consider your future uses and eventual sale perhaps. Once you set your boat on a suitable trailer you may decide to expand your boating horizon and take-off for some distant port that (gasp!) maybe saltwater! You may have to...

Dennis, Will do. I did talk to the canvas guy whom I have known for years and trust about the rachet idea. He said that a lot of ski boats come with a similar system but they have a problem getting them tight enough. But we are not ruling out anything. He said a concern is the sheer size...

Brian, Would use Craig of Craig's Marine Canvas on Holiday Rd. Talked to him today about the cover. A full sunbrella for a walkaround would be expensive. We may try modifying my trailer cover first to see if that works. The Hacker is in the boat house now on a lift with a full waterline...

I need to get a mooring cover for my '88 Overnighter. After years in a comfortable boat house it has been "kicked" out side to a side tie at our dock. I have a trailer cover for it that requires tie down to the trailer or straps run under the hull. I tried to use it but it is way too much...

Grady customer service can probably tell you who they bought them from. If that doesn't work you could try SSI http://ssicustomplastics.com/products/i ... &oc_page=1

Sounds like a good idea... viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20734&p=127102#p127102

I have 23 years in commercial investment real estate. Most of that time was working as an Asset Manager for large institutional investor / advisor. Spent the last 13 years selling commercial roofing in the SE.

What do you think? I sure would like to see what they would build and offer in a 22' to 24' range bay style fishing boat. Something with a little less freeboard that the center consoles. Set up for a trolling motor. Might make a good entry level boat for the bigger models. What could Grady...

Yes, there are a few of us out there! say a Sailfish in Sunset Cove a few weeks ago. Where did you see a 330? That's a lot of boat for Lanier. There is also a deep red hulled 306 Bimini on a lift at Holiday. Believe it is on R dock. Said to belong to Jerry Stackhouse a former NBA player.

What year Overnighter? I have a 1988 Overnighter and all my switches are factory original toggle switches. It has surprised me that at almost 25 years old they all still work. I have replaced one fuse holder. If yours is a pull switch I wonder if it has been changed before. There is a wide...

Looks like a nice part you have made. It will probably work fine. I found replacements for my handles at Marine Connection Liquidators. If I remember correctly they were very reasonably priced. Try calling them. http://www.themarineconnection.net/

It would not be a tough call for me at all. I would keep the boat. I think every guy wants and needs a project for sanity purposes. Especially with small kids. There will be times when the best thing you can do is to grab a beer, go out in the yard, pull the cover back and just think about...

Look forward to the pictures. How did she run with the twins?

First thing I would do is get a copy of the wiring diagram for your boat. I have an 88 Overnighter and a copy of mine was available online under customer resources at the Grady site. I found that my boat actually had a lead that was taped off in the stern area that was connected to my "Aux"...

if you go to the New Wire website they have a project estimate page. Just provide some basic information and it will give you a ball park estimate.
